Shackled Lyrics by Chronicler

Dawn of a New Era

2018

[Verse 1]
Once again they attack, on this battlefield of horrors were the grass is red
All my friends are dead, I am the last one left alive, will I now meet my end
I’ve been here for too long, feeling just pain and misery, losing my mind to insanity
Now as I raise my sword, I do not feel fear nor remorse, such things are memories from my past

[Verse 2]
Now the battles over and the dust is settling, I’m standing in the mud, wondering why
Why am I still alive, a hundred battles I have seen, yet I keep going on
Red dawn, another fight, death got the comrades by my side, I am standing all alone
This will be my last battle, deep down I know it to be true, as a sword runs me through
I’m falling to the ground, vision is fading from my eyes, I do not feel the second strike
A broken body with a tortured mind, is what’s left of me, my only wish is to be set free

[Chorus 1]
Death, now hear me plea please make me cease to be
I’ve done my time
I would join thee, in your peaceful dark eternity
I do not fear
Is it my time, now to be freed from the shackles of this life
Snuff out the light
Wish for release, from this world of pain and misery
Cruelty
Would you just let me die?

[Verse 3]
An arrow grazed my head, four blades pierced through my flesh, is what I’m told when the darkness fades
You will survive they tell me, but you will never be whole, your broken body is doomed to never move
I stand before my judgement, I hear the call of the abyss, there are no ropes yet I am tied to my bed
Outside I hear the call, soldiers are called to arms, inside my tent I am just hoping to die

[Chorus 2]
Death, now hear me plea please make me cease to be
I’ve done my time
I would join thee, in your peaceful dark eternity
I do not fear
Is it my time, now to be freed from the shackles of this life
Snuff out the light
Wish for release, from this world of pain and misery
Cruelty
Would you just let me die?

[Verse 4]
The battle has gone quiet, I hear no sounds of war
Alone I start to wonder, did we win or fall
A stranger walks into my tent, an enemy of mine
I smile at him and thank him, for my end has arrived

Death has set me free
Free from the shackles of this life
Free from all the misery
Free from my own insanity

Now I am free
